This is the conundrum: 200 series Landcruiser diesel. As the fuel filter get dirtier, in theory it is filtering more as it is becoming somewhat restrictive. As long as the fuel pressure remains the same on the other side, should you change the filter. I know of owners who change their fuel each time they change engine oil. This is not the same as an air filter which as it get dirty it restrict the air flow. Or do you simply change the filter because it's 'the right thing to do'?

I just replace my fuel filter every 50k anyway (of course if the filter light was to come on I would replace it again too). That is my replacement schedule.

      Mighty 1991 2WD Hilux lives to fight another day

      Hello All, Proud (second) owner of a 1991 2WD Hilux. Just spent the last few hours putting in a new starter motor. Was pretty sure the original was cooked, I noticed it was on the way out (420,000 km on the clock, the original starter had a good innings I reckon) A few basic checks, and relatively simmilar model youtube email and I couldn't wait to get stuck in. (I've never changed out a starter motor before) Whilst doing the job realised how much I enjoy working on an older model car. It cost me $270 for the starter motor but the therapy benefits were priceless. When I finished, put everything back together, accounted for all the tools lest one be lurking in the engine bay somewhere) turned the key it just started first pop like usual (hurray for Japanese engineering!). As I knew it would. Recently I had paid some muppets $600 to find a diesel leak which they never did... it's still leaking diesel. (Subject of future post in the hilux forum I reckon) Part of the reason I am here really... In the age of "computer says no", crappy service, poor tradesman I think I would rather just do it myself. And the other reason is if anybody needs advice on changing out a starter motor on a 2L toyota engine (and 3L and TOYOTA HiLux LN56 LN60 LN61 LN65 LN65R LN85 LN86 eng 2L 2.4L apparently) then I'm the man to ask! (There are some trick shots involved!)

      Help - Blowing white smoke

      So I replaced the PCV Valve and for a couple of days, it was great no smoke. Then yesterday the white smoke was back when I started the car only. It seems to be only when I start the car now, which I suppose is bonus. Any other suggestions? Your help is greatly appreciated.

      With Toyota entering a V8 Supra into Australian Super Car racing will Toyota have to keep building the Supra past 2025 ? Also, will Toyota have to build a V8 road going version of the Supra to comply with Super Cars construction rules ?

      2018 SL. Reversing camera display stopped being animated.

      Apart from trying the same thing in a different gear and/or moving slowly as you turn the steering wheel each way I don't know what else to suggest. The battery being disconnected was what caused my issue.

      2019 Landcruiser 200 Map update Bricked System

      Adam, reality is whilst it is handy to have an onboard GPS unit working, we have resorted to using Google Maps on the phone. It is accurate and always up to date. WAZE is also another App if you're into that.
